Former New York mayor Rudy Guiliani has been released from Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis "with a clean bill of health," said his campaign's communications director Katie Levinson this afternoon.

The mayor began experiencing flu-like symptoms while campaigning in Missouri Wednesday afternoon and entered the hospital for observation and testing on the advice of his physician."Doctors performed a series of precautionary tests and the results of all the tests were normal. The Mayor is heading back to New York this afternoon and he continues to be in high spirits," she said.

"I feel great. Take care. Merry Christmas. I'm feeling fine, thanks to the hospital," Giuliani said as he exited it, according to Associated Press report. "They did a good job."
